I’m sitting here at the registration desk for the Fourth Composition Conference for First-Year Student Writers and thought I would let the blogosphere know how it’s going. In short, so far–GREAT! Session I at 9am and Session II at 10:30 have been well attended…actually, Session II is going on as I write this and all of the room are standing/floor sitting room only!

Kudos to Amy Lynch-Biniek for deciding to move the conference to a Thursday instead of a Friday…and kudos to those meteorologists who forecasted and delivered a beautiful sunny day (in stark contrast to last year’s cold rainy Friday). Right now there we have 70 students and faculty officially registered, but there is a second sign in sheet with at least 25 more students. It’s not even lunch yet and it’s already a great conference.

If you are reading this sitting around on the KU campus and are wondering what to do with your afternoon, check out the conference program and c’mon over!!!
